Pyrgos House – Kythira Greece

Olive oil tasting

Tasting pure Kythira!

Join our weekly excursions and get inspired by genuine island life.

Pyrgos House is cooperating with young Kythirians who love to share their enthusiasm and knowledge about their island. They are working together with nature, either undertaking new challenges or continuing the tradition of their small family businesses started by their parents or grandparents. Artisanal, honest and pure.

Olive oil tasting: in Karavas’ former primary school. Harry Tzortzopoulos will tell you everything about olive oil. Harry is an authority on organic olive oil. He produces his own oil, pressed from the olives of his eight hundred olive trees. You will find out how to recognize the olive oil quality, what to look for when buying it and how to preserve it. All these aspects contribute to enjoying olive oil at its finest. Truly Greece’s liquid gold.

Friday, Karavas, 10 am – 1 pm

20,00 € per person
